The wealthy Agatha Dawson is dead and there are no apparent signs of foul play. Lord Peter Wimsey, however, senses that something is amiss and he refuses to let the case rest - even without any clues or leads. Suddenly, he is faced with another murder - Agatha's maid. Can super-sleuth Wimsey find the murderer and solve the case before he becomes the killer's next victim?

Dorothy Sayers is renown for her Lord Peter Wimsey novels for a good reason.. they are great!

I suppose this would be classified as an English detective cozy. The hero follows the clues and we follow along. He gets the criminal in the end, but the joy is in the process.

This installment is before Harriet Vane, evidently. But, the mystery is great, the logic trail terrific.. classic Wimsey.

Ian Carmichael does an absolutely marvelous job narrating.

I highly recommend this to anyone liking classic English detective mysteries.

Excellent Lord Peter Wimsey!

Dorothy Sayers writing with Ian Carmichael as narrator is truly a beautiful experience. Now only if Audible will put up the rest of the series I'd do my best to kiss a app.

When Wimsey pays a visit to the villainess posing as her alter ego

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, it is sufficiently complex that one wants to,pause to digest.

A classic, presented to advantage.

This is my first Lord Peter Whimsey book, even though it is the third one in the series. I enjoyed it and I will look forward to more.

I’ve read the Lord Peter Whimsey Mysteries several times previously; this was my 1st time listening to the audio available in the Audible Plus program. I recommend Unnatural Death to readers who enjoy Classic English Mysteries. Ian Carmichael did a fine job.

A Classic Mystery that holds up well over time.
